Alice Neel - Seeing who we are

Xavier Hufkens 2022 ISBN 9789491245329 Acqn 33101
Hb 24x31cm 104pp col ills £39.50
Published with the exhibition of the same name, 'Alice Neel: Seeing Who We Are' showcases the
work of acclaimed painter Alice Neel (1900-1984)_made over a fifty-year period. Bringing
twentieth-century America to life with her vivid portraits, her works are influenced by the struggles
in her own life as a young artist and single mother during the Great Depression. Highly attuned
and profoundly empathic, she was able to capture the innate characteristics of her subjects. Neel
is especially known for bringing in the female gaze in her nudes of women that contradict the
traditional objectified depictions by her male predecessors. Includes essays by Eleanor Nairne
and Quinn Latimer.

Nathalie Du Pasquier - Sempre Milanese, (3rd ed)

Fotokino 2023 ISBN 9782902565191 Acqn 33126
Pb 17x22cm 64pp col ills £21
Nathalie Du Pasquier moved to Milan in 1979 and became one of the founding members of the
Memphis Group that started to form around Ettore Sottsass. During those years, she creates
many textiles, rugs, patterns, objects and furniture, and when the group is dissolved in 1987, she
gives back to painting a central place in her work. Whatever the medium-design, painting, textile
or sculpture-, her work is born from an accumulation that constructs architectures of shapes and
colors. Beautifully quiet still lives, electric patterns, domestic landscapes and construction games
are mixed in a joyous freedom, as a myriad of visual spaces to explore. Sempre Milanese is a
walk along that singular course through a selection of works going from the early 80's to
nowadays. This publication is a new edition with an extra 16 pages of the previous book Sempre
Milanese published in 2019.

Synthetic Becoming
K. Verlag 2022 ISBN 9783947858378 Acqn 33128
Pb 16x23cm 300pp col ills £33.50
Starting with the idea that we are composite entities, just like how synthetic things are composed
of multiple parts, 'Synthetic Becoming' is a peer-reviewed collective monograph with many
components. Bringing together the research of over 30 artists, activists, and feminist
technoscience practitioners, the contributors critically examine the effects of industrial,
pharmaceutical, and hormonally-active molecules on us. Adopting an approach that is
decolonised, feminist, post-humanist, and new materialist, this book hopes to help envision and
facilitate more hopeful futures despite the ubiquity of these anthropogenic chemicals.

Tine Melzer - Atlas of Aspect Change

Rollo Press 2022 ISBN 9783906213361 Acqn 33131
Aspect change means seeing something as something else: it influences our minds, our linguistic
practices, and our worldviews. The 'Atlas of Aspect Change' reflects shifting meanings viewed
through the prism of language and intersubjective exchange. It elicits phenomena of perspective
and reveals how words and images influence each other. It activates understanding of complex
and ambiguous situations and shows how to stimulate and refine interdisciplinary discourse. The
book bundles expertise from visual, literal, conceptual, cognitive, cultural, historical and
geographical practices. With a foreword by Marjorie Perloff and contributions by Martin Stokhof,
Thomas Strassle, Batia Suter, Liza May Post, Sigurdur Gudmundsson, Benjamin Hennig,
Nicholas Davey, Silvia Maier, Alexandra Leykauf, Uta Eisenreich, Christa-Maria Lerm Hayes,
Kasper Andreasen, Tobias Servaas, Nils Roller, Arja Karhumaa, Frans Oosterhof, Ton Zwerver
and many more.

Vaclav Pozarek - Sweet Wood (cardboard book)

Rookie Books 2022 ISBN 9783952569016 Acqn 33143
Vaclav Pozarek was born in Czechoslovakia in 1940 and has lived in Bern for almost 50 years.
His sculptural vocabulary is influenced by constructivism, minimalism, concrete art, but also
shows a great affinity for the ordinary everyday objects that surround us. In "Sweet Wood"
Pozarek shows us with the simplest of means how small the leap from the artist's studio to the
children's room really is. A must-have for friends of simplicity, harmony and order.

Louise Bourgeois – Transatlantique

Les Presses Du Reel 2023 ISBN 9782493808028 Acqn 33153
A truly Transatlantique figure, Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), born in Paris, spent most of her life
in New York City where she moved in 1938, eventually taking American citizenship. A sculptor of
considerable talent with a polymorphous practice, she was recognized and celebrated far earlier
in the United States than in France. Marie-Laure Bernadac, a leading expert in Bourgeois's work,
invites nine artists from both sides of the Atlantic to share their views of this major artistic figure of
the 20th century. Their contributions prove the extent to which Louise Bourgeois continues to
fascinate even the younger generations of artists.

Archives on Show - Revoicing, Shapeshifting, Displacing A Curatorial Glossary

Archive Books 2023 ISBN 9783948212926 Acqn 33172
Focusing on the relationship between archive and exhibition, 'Archives on Show' explores the
many ways that relationship can be shaped for new connections in a curatorial approach. Beyond
the practices of selecting, assembling, and ordering materials, curation is process-oriented,
bringing the potential of reformulating the social and political relevance of archives. With
contributions by artists, curators, and theorists presenting 22 different ways of dealing with
archives, this volume highlights the techniques and methods of archival curation that reshape
archival logic, structures, and conditions that open them up for the future.

Ross Bolleter - Average Human Heart

Lenka Lente 2023 ISBN 9791094601495 Acqn 33154
In Average Human Heart, inspired by Eduardo Galeano's The Book of Embraces and Jorge Luis
Borges's Ficciones, Bolleter offers more than 100 vignettes (or "left hand stories") primarily on
music and musical experience. Ross Bolleter (born 1946 in Subiaco, Western Australia) is an
Australian avantgarde composer and improviser notable for his experimentation on old pianos
that have been found after having been left exposed to the action of time and weather (he
classifies his pianos into different categories: neglected, abandoned, weathered, decayed, ruined,
devastated, decomposed, annihilated), thus acquiring novel and unexpected musical possibilities.
His recordings are published by the Emanem and WARPS (World Association for Ruined Piano
Studies) labels. In 2021, he released the great Total Piano on Thodol Records.

Lara Almarcegui - The Eight Castor Houses of Villeurbanne

IAC - Institut d'Art Contempor 2023 ISBN 9782905985736 Acqn 33155
Pb 14x20cm 120pp ills £14
This book presents the research work by artist Lara Almarcegui on the "Maisons Castors"
housing complex in Villeurbanne, which originated from a collaborative self-building movement of
the 1940s. Within this movement groups of families built their dwellings by pooling their skills,
reminding us that each building is a bearer of the history of a place and that its preservation or
not over time is an indicator of political will as well as of social realities.

17x22cm 160pp col ills £30
Winner of the Italian Council project (2019), Christian Fogarolli's Pneuma focuses on the
immateriality and intangibility of mental illness by analysing various geographical and cultural
contexts, questioning the stigma and categorisation created by political, corporate and state
systems. Fogarolli's work is an attempt to bring to light the entire spectrum of subjectivity behind
diagnoses, which otherwise risks remaining untold.

Pietro Roccasalva - Chi e che ride

Serralves 2023 ISBN 9788867495320 Acqn 33158
Pietro Roccasalva (born 1970 in Modica, lives and works in Milan) is one of the most singular and
promising Italian artists in the post-Cattelan generation in Italy. His work is a visionary and erudite
mix of conceptual rigour and hallucinatory extravaganza: starting from painting as his main
medium of expression and ranging from sculpture to installation, from "tableaux vivants" to
drawing and film, Roccasalva's creative world is an unceasing investigation into the meaning of
images and how we relate to them.

Anne-James Chaton - I have the solution for the planet

Daisy Editions 2023 ISBN 9782957661138 Acqn 33159
This is the first publication dedicated to the visual work of writer and performer Anne-James
Chaton. Anne-James Chaton (born in 1970 in Besancon) has developed a multi-polar work,
based on a continuous study of the textual materials that punctuate the daily life of contemporary
societies. This "poor" literature, produced on a daily basis by a multitude of machines-cash
register receipts, museum entrance tickets, leaflets, business cards, credit cards, subscriptions,
etc.-constitutes the material for his textual work, which is also used in the production of his work.

Daniel Nadaud - La Gricole et ses derives

Editions Amac 2023 ISBN 9782953580969 Acqn 33160
La Gricole, a "generic" term (play on words from L'Agricole) that qualifies the entirety of the
Daniel Danaud's production, is drawn as closely as possible from the land of labourers, their tools
and their domestic animals, confronted from the beginning of time by natural disasters and wars.
The book brings together a representative set of works (sculptures, installations, drawings) but
also sketch books, many of which have just been donated to the Bibliotheque nationale de
France. This collection allows us to follow the evolution of the artist's work through different
contexts of presentation. The reader is invited to take a chronological walk from the sculptures to
the his most recent drawings.

Antony Gormley - Body Field

Xavier Hufkens 2022 ISBN 9789491245312 Acqn 33164
Known for his philosophical sculptures, installations, and large-scale public artworks, Sir Antony
Mark David Gormley OBE thinks of the human body as a place rather than an object, and
confronts fundamental, universal questions about our relationship with nature and the cosmos
with his art. This book is a catalogue of the installations, sculptures, and prints in his 'Body Field'
exhibition. Using sculpture as an instrument of awareness, Gormley invites us to explore our
relationship with the space around us, the internal space within, and the fusion of the self with the
other. Included is a text from Dieter Roelstrate, as well as a conversation between the artist and
Diana Campbell.

Jan Wade - Soul Power

Information Office/ Vancouver 2022 ISBN 9781988860138 Acqn 33165
The book 'Jan Wade: Soul Power' both honours and documents Jan Wade's compelling but
underrecognized practice, which reflects her lived experience as an African Canadian person of
mixed cultural heritage. Comprising mixed media assemblages, paintings, sculptural pieces, and
textiles made from found or ready-made objects and recycled materials, her art explores the
places and practices of her ancestors alongside contemporary political concerns and social
movements such as Black Lives Matter. 'Jan Wade: Soul Power' accompanied the exhibition at
the Vancouver Art Gallery. The show presented a survey of the artist's rich body of work from the
1990s to the present and marked the first solo exhibition by a Black female artist in the 90-year
history of the Gallery.

Creative Chance - Surrealist Art and Literature from the Vancrevel and de Jong Collection
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen 2021 ISBN 9789069183190 Acqn 33166
The collection of surrealist art at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is world famous, but this
book is not devoted to the oeuvres of great names like Dali and Magritte. Instead, it tells the story
of the pieces found by Dutch collectors Laurens Vancrevel and his wife, Frida de Jong. Long
before museums began to take notice, the couple had gathered art and poetry by surrealists who
were relatively unknown at the time. Guided by chance, friendships, and random encounters, they
built a collection of surrealist art from which Boijmans could make a selection. This book
examines these 50 artworks while reflecting on two approaches to collecting surrealist art:
privately or by a museum.

herman de vries - basic values

Fieldwork Museum 2023 ISBN 9789082783124 Acqn 33169
Hb 18x25cm 160pp col ills £67.50
The publication basic values documents herman de vries' exhibition of the same name in Jakarta,
Indonesia. Dutch artist herman de vries (Alkmaar, 1931), one of the most outstanding artists of
his generation, has been an avowed advocate for cultural and biological diversity for decades -
long before such terms started to be common. In many respects the exhibition and publication
represented the fulfillment of de vries' long-cherished desire to travel and work in Indonesia. The
artist had been interested in Indonesian culture and nature for many decades, but was never in a
position to visit the island nation. For the exhibition the artist realized new site-specific sculptures
and installations. Appropriating local artifacts and natural materials, such as rice sickles, stems of
bamboo from Bogor's botanical garden, and baskets with rice in all its variety, the artist
celebrates the cultural and biological diversity of Indonesia and the 'basic values' that they offer.

Becoming Geological
V2_publishers 2023 ISBN 9789082893564 Acqn 33170
According to editor Martin Howse, "'Becoming Geological' functions as a manual for a new
relation of the human with the earth and with the cosmos, invoking becoming metal, becoming
earth, and becoming cosmic as potential and multiple ways of being and as active philosophies of
the earth; a guide for how to live and die within new planetary and cosmic techno-cycles". The
book is published with a major exhibition at V2_ in Rotterdam featuring new and foundational
artistic projects which interrogate and reflect on connections, from cosmic geology to sublimated
time, from pollution-altered allures to tiny mining, and from geological (dis)articulations to
mourning the infinite.

Art + Water
V2_publishers 2023 ISBN 9789082893571 Acqn 33171
We lack a sustainable approach towards water and a well-balanced relationship with the natural
world of seas and oceans. Combined with the impact of climate change, water issues create
enormous global challenges that require systemic change. To systematically transform how water
is valued across business practices, policies, cultural beliefs and behaviors, we must ad- dress
social attitudes to keep us and the environment healthy. 'Art + Water' provides imaginative new
ideas on water issues and invites us to rethink and reinvent our society. Five essays and ten texts
highlighting the artistic projects developed as part of the EC-funded STARTS4Water program
provide an overview of cultural and artistic approaches to urgent water challenges.
